Princess Mazagwu
I wore orange to a funeral
Just to see how it felt to be the brightest person in the room
I wore a yellow raincoat on a sunny day
Just to see how it felt to have clouds solely hanging over me
I draw purple circles under my eyes just to see how it feels to be tired
I paint blue on my body and lie in hydrangeas just to see how it feels to blossom
I wear and
I wear
down
down
down
until I lose my vibrant hues just to feel what it’s like to fall
